【题目】If you have spent any time living in or visiting a big city in China, you have most likely used the service that Didi provides. The convenient ride-sharing company, now known as Didi Chuxing, was praised last month by Fortune magazine. According to the magazine, it is changing the world with its environmentally friendly solution to getting around in major cities. As the magazine reported: “Didi concluded that last year its car-pooling services helped reduce total car trips in the country by 1 million a day, which saved 500 million liters of gas, cutting 13.5 million tons of carbon emissions (排放) per day.” The transport service was the only Chinese company to make the important magazine’s list, and its influence can be felt in many parts of Chinese society.
Didi is just one example of what is being called the “sharing economy”. The sharing economy is one in which regular people exchange goods and services, usually using an online marketplace. Other similar companies include companies that allow people to rent out their homes to strangers like Airbnb and Couchsurfing, and similar ride sharing services like Uber and Lyft.
All of these services are possible partly because many people are realizing that they have underused assets in their lives. Millions of people around the world have started renting them out online to earn extra money. They rent their apartments while they are away for the weekend, lend people their cars for money and even sell their spare time.
The sharing economy is the latest example of the Internet’s value to customers. This model is now big enough for regulators and companies to have woken up to it. That is a sign of its great potential. It is time to start caring about sharing.
【1】What does the first paragraph imply?
A. Didi Chuxing can bring down the price of gas.
B. Didi Chuxing has solved the traffic jam in China.
C. Didi Chuxing is helpful to environment.
D. Didi Chuxing is the best transport service in China.
【2】What does the underlined word “assets” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Possessions. B. Services.
C. Houses. D. Cars.
【3】What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To stress the importance of online services.
B. To introduce the “sharing economy”.
C. To advertise a new means of transport.
D. To explain the benefits of using Didi.
【答案】
【1】C
【2】A
【3】B
【解析】本文通过举例介绍了分享经济，并且指出分享经济的前景可观。
【1】推理判断题。由According to the magazine, it is changing the world with its environmentally friendly solution to getting around in major cities.可知第一自然段暗示了滴滴出行对环境有益，选C。
【2】词义猜测题。由Millions of people around the world have started renting them out online to earn extra money.可知划线词所在的句子意思是在一定程度上，所有的那些服务都有可能，因为许多人意识到他们未充分使用他们生活中的财产，所以“assets”意思是财产，选A。
【3】写作意图题。由The sharing economy is the latest example of the Internet’s value to customers. This model is now big enough for regulators and companies to have woken up to it. That is a sign of its great potential. It is time to start caring about sharing. 可知这篇文章的目的在于介绍分享经济，选B。

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。 August 2011 was my last month before the departure to Beijing. But I didn’t know that August would bring me an unforgettable meeting with one of the famous traditional Chinese kungfu masters, Sui Yunjiang. He came to my city with a series of conferences and was to stay for a fortnight. I was asked to be his interpreter and had to accompany him and his wife during all that time, as well as Viktor who was the organizer and the host.
According to the Chinese tradition, we called Sui Yunjiang master Sui shifu or Sui laoshi. His personality impressed me deeply. Maybe it was a fate（yuanfen）, or something other, but it was not the first time I heard his name, since he used to come to my town every two years, mostly in August. However, I never saw him in person, nor did the translation for him. I lacked knowledge in wushu, but the master was very patient trying to explain to me every single word that I couldn’t comprehend. He was already in his sixties at that time, but, giving credit to his sharp mind, he could find a way with the youngest disciples(门徒) as well as the older ones. The two weeks that I had spent with that amazing family inspired me and I continued my kungfu practices in Beijing.
During all these three years now that I have known him since our first meeting, he never stopped surprising me with his strong, yet sensitive personality. Our lessons go far beyond simply learning kungfu technics. His teaching is more about life, about enjoying every single moment of it because it will not happen twice, about training our will and overcoming difficulties, about harmonious existence, and building relationships with other people. After every kungfu lesson, we are welcome into his house to drink tea. This is another lesson being taught — the mastery of chadao, or tea ceremony.
Miracles are everywhere. For me, a miracle is meeting Sui Yunjiang. I love being a journalist, interviewing and writing about people from different paths of life, but Sui laoshi is the only person who made such a strong impression on me.
（1）How did the writer meet Sui Yunjiang?
A.By being asked to be his interpreter.
B.By travelling in China.
C.By interviewing Chinese kungfu masters.
D.By discussing how to drink tea.
（2）The underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____________.
A.privately
B.mentally
C.personally
D.physically
（3）Which of the following best describes Sui Yunjiang?
A.Talented and productive.
B.Serious and boring.
C.Famous and unhappy.
D.Patient and friendly.
（4）From the last paragraph we can learn that____________.
A.miracles are everywhere
B.meeting Sui Yunjiang is unforgettable
C.being a journalist is the writer’s dream
D.the writer loves writing stories about life
（5）Which of the following is the best title of this passage？
A.Meeting the Master
B.Being a Journalist
C.An Unforgettable Experience
D.Chinese Kungfu Masters

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C或D）中，选出最佳选项。
Dear Lan Lan,
I'm now writing to you at Hartsop, a village in the Lake District, a place to have most beautiful scenery（景色）in English couple here to spend Christmas with them. This was planned for overseas students to know British way of life by living with British families.
We came two days before Christmas and during our stay, we have had everything we expected. Christmas turkey, Christmas cake, Christmas puddings, Christmas parties and Christmas gifts under the Christmas tree. All are exciting and amusing（有趣的）, but above all these, we are deeply touched by the hospitality（好客）of the family, Roger and Anne Marie.
Anne Marie was a nurse and all these days, she had been busy cooking meals, washing dishes and showing us around. Roger, who was a doctor, knows a lot about China and still wants to know more. He plays us Chinese music and it seems to me he does better in that than we do. In the evenings, we all sit around the fireplace with Tim, a lovely dog, by our side. Like long-time-no-see friends, we talk about all the things that have happened or we hope to happen in our lives. There is always so much to tell and to know.
After three months away from home, we are again feeling how sweet a home can be. Roger and Anne Marrie are not like most of the other people we have met who always make us feel we are foreigners in a foreign country. They show such kindness to us that they bring us a person-to-person feeling, instead of a British-to-Chinese feeling. They make us believe that though there are differences of languages and cultures, one may always expect to find in every corner of the world the feeling of love and being loved.
How I wish Mum and Dad could meet them! How I wish you were here with me! How strange it is that the more I feel at home here, the more I miss my real home and all of you. We always talk about “when we go back home next year…” and soon we will turn this into “When we go back home THIS year…” for the New Year's Day is coming. Miss you.
Love
Cao Wen

【题目】She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.
The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum where it is housed.
“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current (现在的) chemical state.
Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision (视觉) is excellent at picking up details, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”
However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to the king of France, Francis I, in 1519.
In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later. During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.
Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.
【1】The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa .
A. is losing its value
B. is being damaged after so many years
C. is getting more valuable with years passing
D. will rot away
【2】Choose the right order about the happenings onto the Mona Lisa.
a. It was stolen from the Louvre.
b. Its painter sold it to King Francis I.
c. Its state of health was checked.
d. It was returned to France and housed in the Louvre Museum.
e. It was hidden and protected against German forces.
A. b-a-d-e-c B. d-e-c-b-a
C. d-a-e-c-b D. b-c-a-d-e
【3】What makes her smile so mysterious according to Professor Livingstone?
A. The materials the Italian artist used.
B. The way she smiles.
C. The way da Vinci painted the smile.
D. It plays a trick upon the human eye.

【题目】More and more people, especially in developed countries, arc becoming older. In the United States there are currently over 40 million people aged 65 and over, more than 10 million are over 85. Caring for these senior citizens is becoming a necessity, and a big industry.
Traditionally, care for the elderly has taken place in an extended family, where grandparents live at home and are helped by other family members. However, as more and more young people enter the work force full time they cannot care for their parents or grandparents any more. There are more than 10,000 organizations that provide care for the elderly. More than 1,000 were founded last year alone. Ordinary people quit their jobs and start private care centers, where they offer senior citizens their services.
One of the most difficult aspects of such an organization is finding the right people to do the job. Caring for the elderly is not an easy task. It requires skill and patience. Among daily tasks are preparing meals, washing older people, or simply keeping them company. Many care workers quit because they find it very depressing(令人沮丧的). It is important to help the elderly stay mobile as long as possible. When they cannot walk or climb stairs they need more help: thus costs become higher. Care workers concentrate on exercises to help them stay mobile. In many cases assisted living replaces round-the-clock health care. Elderly people need help with some daily tasks but can mostly live on their own. It also costs less than full nursing care.
While wealthy Americans turn to private care centers, those who are poorer cannot pay for the services because Medicare does not cover it. Not all countries offer health care provided by the state. In Asia and Africa, for example, older people are cared for by family members.
【1】Why are more and more private care centers started?
A. Many people can't find other jobs. B. Caring for the elderly is an easy task.
C. Many young people take full time jobs. D. Care workers can get well paid.
【2】Who pays for the service in the care center?
A. Medicare. B. The state. C. The family. D. Care centers.
【3】What is the third paragraph in the text mainly about?
A. Reasons to start a care center. B. Skills that care workers need.
C. Costs for nursing care. D. Difficulties in running a care centre.
【4】How many daily tasks for nursing care are mentioned in the text?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.

【题目】The world’s longest 3rd deepest railway underground passage, the Gotthard Base Tunnel, opened on 1 June 2016 after many years of construction. Trains can travel at speeds of up to 250 km an hour through the 57 km long tunnel. It took 17 years to complete and cost $12 billion. A total of 2,600 workers involved in building the tunnel had to excavate more than 28 million tons of rocks. Nine people died during the construction. The engineering milestone will bring southern Germany and northern Italy closer together.
Gattardino shuttle trains will be running between the two endpoints of the tunnel and make a stop at Sedrun, a mountain station in the middle. 65 passenger and 240 freight(货物) trains are expected to travel through the tunnel every day. The Gotthard Base Tunnel will reduce the time it takes trains to pass through the Alps, which have been a natural barrier to travel. In the past traders and merchants had to use mountain passes to travel from north to south. The first Gotthard rail tunnel opened in 1882, but as time went on, it could not handle the growing traffic.
In the 1990s, Swiss citizens approved of a government plan to build a new tunnel. The main purpose of the Gotthard Base Tunnel is to increase local transport capacity(容量) through the Alpine barrier, especially for freight. This not only significantly reduces the danger of deadly road crashes involving trucks, but also reduces the environmental damage caused by the ever-increasing amount of freight carried by heavy trucks. The new tunnel is expected to reduce road traffic crossing the Alps as more and more truck companies will put their freight on Swiss trains.
【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “excavate” in Paragraph 1?
A. bury B. wash C. weigh D. remove
【2】What is the main purpose of building the tunnel through the Alps?
A. To allow more trains to pass through. B. To enlarge the mountain passes.
C. To control the growing road traffic. D. To reduce the cost of truck companies.
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A. Gottardino shuttle trains will run through the tunnel without stopping.
B. More passenger trains will travel through the tunnel than freight trains.
C. Constructing the tunnel can be hard and dangerous.
D. There is only one rail tunnel running through the Alps.
【4】Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A travel guide. B. A fiction story. C. A fashion magazine. D. A news report.
